BP - need I say more?

The BP oil spill - not so much a 'spill' as a ceaseless cascade of noxious filth, poisoning everything in its ever-increasing path - has evoked very little real public outcry or response.  I suggested on Facebook that it was time to boycott BP, and the response was good, but not loud or outraged. I was disappointed.

Then I went to my spam filter and deleted dozens of items that were also annoying and filthy, as well as toxic, and it struck me - we're constantly being subjected to this sort of ...

TV and Nature

The other evening I caught an ad for garden equipment.  You may have seen it. The scene was a perfect dewy lawn; the voice-over said "It looks like dew - but really it's a cold sweat".  Then there was the sound and images of power tools starting up. The message was simple, this lawn was terrified and was now going to be worked over by professionals.

When did we get so aggressive about our gardens?  When did the rhetoric of terrifying something become acceptable?  And since when have we been...

Improvements to the site

At first glance you may not see any.  But rest assured they are there. The small 'amazon' buttons under the book pictures, to your right, will connect you to Amazon's page.  There you'll find all sorts of Amazon-type stuff.  Reviews, detailed descriptions, reduced prices, the first 30 pages…  All that good stuff.  It also makes it easier to buy the books.

So now you have no excuses…..

If you want to check out my new book, Princes, Frogs, and Ugly Sisters, go to Findhorn Press.

I'm also posting on New Consciousness Review.  Check it out!

Stay tuned for more posts here!

Apologies

For those of you who wanted to connect to the Findhorn Press page for

Princes, Frogs, and Ugly Sisters

I can only apologize that the link below does not work. All is not lost.  You can still go to the other link for Write Your Memoir and then click to my other books.

My technical wizard, Matt, is working on this. I have no idea why the link does not function, so I sought out a higher level of technical awareness.

I'm still posting on New Consciousness Review, if you wish to follow the blogs.

Links to Books

In tune with my previous post, if you wish to order my newest book

Princes, Frogs and Ugly Sisters; the Grimm Brothers' Healing Tales

then follow this link:

http://www.findhornpress.com/self-help-16/princes-frogs-ugly-sisters-308.html

It won't be available until August, but it can be pre-ordered either from Findhorn or from Amazon, and in each case at a guaranteed low 'pre-order' price. An excellent deal.

I'll be putting up more information in the next few days!!

Links for Books

If you're interested in buying "Write Your Memoir" without further ado, then please use this link below. Until I can get a proper 'button' to lead you to the books at Findhorn Press this is the best I can manage: One simply can't get good help these days, my dears….

http://www.findhornpress.com/self-help-16/write-your-memoir-291.html.

The buttons already at the end of each book extract still work just fine, but you'll need to go to 'Books' to access those.

Six Archetypes - new videos

In response to popular demand - several people asked me on Facebook - I've created a set of three short videos that outline the Six Archetypes. Each is only 4 minutes long, so it's a compact way to get a general overview.

If you go to the Youtube page (look up to the link on this page, top right) and click, you'll find a whole series of my videos. The new ones are at the end.

You can also go to Youtube and find my channel: drallanhunter.

Spring and a young person's fancy….

The sun is out and my letter carrier is arriving impressively early these days. I hope it's so that she can have more time to chat with her policeman friend, who can now go about on his Harley again without danger of being soaked.

And really, what could be better, or more delicious, than having my letters delivered and my security assured by a pair of lovers? The gods would envy anyone with such luck.

Gratitude is definitely in order.

Romance and Security

The saga continues.

The policeman drives by practically each day on his motorcycle, but slowly, as if enjoying the spring air. In the past the motorcycle cops have been much more definite and purposeful, even if there was not much to be purposeful about. There's a sense that this is not the normal patrol.

And when the letter carrier and he meet up, she still holds the letters to her abdomen, as if she could be off again any minute, while he leans back on his parked bike, his helmet off, in no ...
